[MM-MALTS-L] CELP & seaweed

[Rob Stevens]

SWA did have some concerns. On the new labels it says "spirit" instead of
"malt".
The whisky is changed into Laphroaig now.
The plant looks like a fresh water plant, but no way our little fresh water
fishes stay alive in there...

  Hi Lex,

  it does say Whisky on the label.

  Should SWA be concerned about this?

    Hi Lex,

    I like this Experiment, (and the Malt :-)

    88 Lagavulin, (-"CELP"), "The Seaweed Experience, The Ultimate Whisky
Company, NL", 55%

    Here is a pic of my bottle :

      Hi all



      I got a bottle of "CELP – Seaweed Experience" for a tasting I'll be
running at the university later this year. For those who have never heard of
this one, it's either a young Lagavulin or a vatting of Lagavulin and
Laphroaig to which seaweed is added. So legally it's not whisky anymore and
the label doesn't claim that it is.



      The spirit is clearly greenish and there is a twig of a plant floating
in the bottle (bottle won't be opened until the tasting). Now as soon as I
saw the twig, I got suspicious. To me, the plant which is floating in the
bottle looks remarkably like Common or Brazilian Waterweed, which is a very
common freshwater plant. Does not grow in the sea and is not a seaweed by
any stretch of the (botanical) imagination. I've attached a small picture of
this plant and I'm asking those of you who have/had a bottle of CELP to tell
me whether the plant inside the bottle looks like the plant in the picture.
Just so I know whether all CELP bottles contain waterweed rather than a
seaweed or whether there ARE indeed CELP bottles with (possible) seaweed.





      slainte, Lex
